Yoenis Cespedes To Hold Showcase March 2
4 years agoFree-agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes wants to play in 2021 and will hold a showcase for major league teams on March 2 in Fort Pierce, Florida. The 35-year-old opted out of the 2020 season after just eight games for COVID-19-related reasons. Cespedes has been bothered by multiple injuries and has played in just 127 games since the 2016 season as a result. He managed to hit two home runs in 34 plate appearances, but he ended up hitting .161 with 15 strikeouts. Cespedes has been an All-Star twice and has played in eight major league seasons with the A's, Red Sox, Tigers and Mets. At his best, he was a superstar and is a .273 career hitter with 165 home runs and an .824 OPS. Because of his extensive injury history in recent seasons, fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach with the Cuban outfielder if he latches on with a team.
